While the lead and entrants might be older, ABC teased that The Golden Bachelor— which was postponed for numerous years due to COVID-19 after it was revealed in January 2020– will follow a comparable format to the OG program.
“The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities,” the network’s May 16 news release read. “In the end, will our Golden man turn the page to start a new chapter with the woman of his dreams?”
But host Jesse Palmer shared that the stakes will be various on The Golden Bachelor since of the “emotional maturity” and life experiences of the older cast.
“The way that they decipher problems, the way that they think about some of the situations that they’re in—whenever they face adversity, it’s pretty interesting,” Jesse informed E!News “It’s a very, very resilient group of people. That’s probably been one of the more surprising things for me.”
And while it will be– state it with us– significant, the spinoff will likewise be uplifting, according to Jesse.
“The vibe of the show up to this point has been very different from the other shows that I’ve been a part of in the last two years,” he kept in mind. “There’s really this sort of overarching theme of hope on this show. If it doesn’t work out between the lead and one of the women, it’s not so much heartbreak but it’s more, ‘You know, I wasn’t sure I could put myself out there again and give love another try. You and this experience have given me the courage to do that moving forward, and I believe I’m gonna find my person.’ And it’s beautiful.”
